Sequential Thallium-201 and Technetium-99m-HMPAO SPECT images were obtained from 7 patients with high-grade gliomas and 5 patients with low-grade gliomas. The histo-pathological tumor-type was verified from either biopsy specimens or resected tissue from surgery. There was an intense uptake of Thallium-201 in all high-grade gliomas. Compared to the contralateral hemisphere the mean uptake was 4.6 times higher. Low-grade gliomas showed only a marginally increased Thallium-201 uptake (1.4 times). No overlap existed between the two groups. There was no correlation between Technetium-99m-HMPAO uptake and tumor type. Thallium-201 appears to be a promising radiopharmaceutical for differentiating high- and low-grade gliomas, whereas Technetium-99m-HMPAO is not.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D005910 Glioma Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.
